We Need Bees
This Tuesday February 2nd, an urban beekeeper named Leonardo Chalupowicz came to Farm King. We learned that bees are important for all vegetation. They carry pollen from flower to flower and also to fruits and vegetables. One third of the food we eat is dependant on pollinators like bees. If we didn’t have bees, we wouldn’t have any vegetation.
Leonardo brought us honey from the bees before it’s processed. Also, he brought a smoker that’s used on bees to make them get drowsy because they think there’s a nearby fire and they eat a lot of honey. In addition, he brought honeycombs and we all got an opportunity to try it before the honey is removed from the comb. Leonardo also brought his equipment he uses when going near the bees.
